Automating quality assurance testing of telecom equipment for a broadband access solutions provider

ADC is a fortune 500 company specializing in broadband infrastructure equipment and data access solutions for local, long-distance, and wireless telephone and cable TV service providers.

The company contracted MicroTech to automate quality assurance testing for its new cable service delivery system. MicroTech leveraged its technical expertise in Java application development and the Unix environment, as well as its experience in the telecommunications industry, to address ADC's very specific testing needs.

MicroTech created a virtual extension of the ADC team with local and offshore development staff working together to streamline testing processes. It developed a software application for system testing that was easy for the client's hardware engineers to use, automated many administrative processes, and simplified training. The result was a reduction in testing time, more accurate test results, and a reduction in system repair and replacement costs that yielded significant savings for both ADC and its customers.
